Lets be fair... I have this TV and it is amazing...amazing enough for neighbors and friends to stop over just to see what I am watching! If you have a conventional TV right now you don't know what you are missing! There is no comparison, DVD's look surreal...just pop in anything...trust me! Reviews like this must focus on the important issues: Picture quality...if I pause a dvd I can count nose hairs on an actress if I wanted to, without zoom!I can read normally indecipherable details in movies, roadsigns, writ...

Good "low-end" ED Plasma TV After standing in front of Panasonic TH-42PD50U and Samsung SPR4232 at local BestBuy for several hours, I have purchased the Samsung. Having been a royal Panasonic consumer for past 10 yrs, it almost came down to a coin toss.
Here are my two cents:
The Good:
1. Design -- Though purely subjective, I have found three design elements to be both functionally and esthetically satisfying: a) Black bezel to make the screen seem smaller and
smoother transition from pict...

It's NOT too big! My husband purchased this TV and at first I thought it was too large for our standard size living room. After a couple of days, however, I wonder how we ever watched a small 27 inch TV.
After considerabel comparison shopping, Amazon was the best value for the 42 inch flat screen TV.

Burn in This is a great TV, but I permenately burned the screen when I accidently fell asleep with my PC on. Luckly I was able to return it to the brick and mortar store where I bought it and they didn't spot it. I loved this unit, but am a bit hesitant now that I have learned how easy it is to burn an image into plasmas. It took less then 12 hours to kill it.

Samsung lies with 10000:1 ratio! Don't get me wrong. The TV is nice and all. BUT the advertised 10000:1 ratio is more like 3000 or 4000:1 ratio of Panasonic. The quality is about the same as Panansonic or Pioneer. Don't pay extra $$$ for 10000:1 ratio crap!

Nothing Special... Bad Speakers This Samsung TV has nothing special compared to Sony or Panasonic. As someone else mentioned below, 10000:1 ratio is overstatement. There is no difference at all.
The brigtness is a bit dimmer compared to other brands. But worst of all, the speakers. The speakers sounded as if Samsung just put them on for decoration. 5.1 Home Theater speaker system is a must for this pathetic TV. You will be disappointed, and you will long for Panasonic.
I see that the TV has mixed reviews. B...

Great Deal, Some Flaws though I've had this TV for about 2 months now and I'm very satisfied.
I'm not an audiophile, so the sound/speakers make little difference to me. Regardless, to my ears, shows that are broadcast in HD/stereo sound very good when the volume is raised.
This is not a TV on which to watch analog programming, and even digital cable doesn't do the HD capability of the set justice. The only way to judge the picture quality of this set is with an HD signal. Sports look the best,...

combo goodness this is my first major "unnecessary" purchase(22 years old college student/part time worker). i was really scared in spending hard earned $1700 (plus tax) on something i would regret but i have been so satisfied with the samsung spr4232 only after a few minor tweaks. after i took this unit home, i plugged in my old dvd player (using component cables) and was unimpressed. few days later(after more research), i purchased the samsung dvd-hd850($89.99 brand new). the dvd player came with a HDMI c...

Big Screen small problems Picture is very good quality and set up is mostly user friendly. Advertising did not indicate that the pricy side mount speakers were not included. Without these the sound quality is very poor and tinny.
